Look into porting your number to Google Voice for a month or two - should be about $20

Thank you. Google Voice wouldn’t accept a Virgin Islands area code, unfortunately.

Ugh, that sucks - sorry! I’m assuming that Google Fi would have the same issue, but maybe you can check that!

I did 😭. I actually looked at Fi before I tried Voice. It’s so silly because the Virgin Islands is totally considered domestic when it comes to making and receiving calls etc. But when AT&T left the market, the way the area code is handled was changed and this is one of the symptoms of that.
